<h2>\typein</h2>


<p><tt>\typein[cmd]{msg}</tt></p>


<p> Prints <tt>msg</tt> on the terminal and causes LaTeX to stop

    and wait for you to type a line of input, ending with return. If

    the <tt>cmd</tt> argument is missing, the typed input is

    processed as if it had been included in the input file in place

    of the <tt>\typein</tt> command. If the <tt>cmd</tt> argument is

    present, it must be a command name. This command name is then

    defined or redefined to be the typed input.</p>
